Pictorial Poros

I was cleaning out crap from my viber and whatsap account and came across photos that others have posted of the island.  I don't know where they've come from or who took them, though several are mine. 


Looking back towards the main town from a high point (obviously)
The mountains and town on the left are across the straits on the mainland




Looking idyllic under a full moon


Must have been taken from the car ferry in the evening.  Looking up towards the clock tower


Ruins of a Venetian castle which was built over much older ruins on a small island at the entrance to the harbour.  Out of bounds except for goats and their herders and archeologists.


Taken by drone.  The Monastery and its plantation of olive trees

  1. We wondered about that castle when we sailed past it. Just as well I now know it is out of bounds because it looked like the ideal place to go and explore. You and your friends take some fabulous photos, and you definitely have a place to be proud of.

  7. Oh that photo of the monastery and the olive trees is just gorgeous. It reminds me of why we travelled and of why we'd love to travel in the future.

  8. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
